JONESIN

I officially had to retire my CHARLIY plates. After 10 years of Virginia plates I was forced to register my car in Utah. Not really willing to be anonymous I have embraced my married last name and now we-are-JONESIN.So the next time you see a green Ford Escape driving like some crazy Virginian, you'll know it's us. New tags, same drivers.

5 mile prep

Cory is preparing for the St. George Marathon in October. He has set up a schedule to meet his goal and Saturdays are his long runs.Only in Utah can you choose some random trail and have this beautiful of a view while you run. Look at the horses and that mountain landscape! The kids and I followed behind on the bike.

5 miles now, 26 in October. Cory's co-worker Steve is also training for the marathon. They plan to keep each other going by training together.

5 years together!

Five years may seem like a long time by Hollywood standards, but it is only the beginning for us. The first five years of our marriage have flown by.

For our anniversary we had a hard time deciding what to do. I made the plan, Cory bought a gift and in the end we had a great time and this years anniversary will not be forgotten.

Ledger high up in the Sultan's bed and loving it.

Sleeping upon elephant's backs was about as comfortable as you would imagine. Actually if Ledger hadn't been taking up half of the bed, it would have been fine.

The shower was a dragon. The theme of Sultan's Palace was very well done and we enjoyed it.

This was our view at dinner.

We had dinner at The Garden in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Because is was a warm spring night they opened the roof.

This is my beautiful new bracelet from Cory. It has five amazing fresh water pearls for our five years of marriage. I am not sure want the four diamonds are going to be for ;) It was a great time. My gift to Cory was a salon hair cut. I'll get a picture up of his HOT new cut soon.

Thumb sucker

Photo Update

Ledger can now grab his feet and is very fond of scooting until he has wedged himself in a corner or falling out of bouncy chairs and baby swings. He is the poster child for why they put straps on those things.

For tummy time he enjoys looking around his play mat and at himself in the mirror. Winter is also enjoying tummy time. With Ledger on the ground she has easier access to pat his head and give him endless kisses.
I asked Cory to hold Ledger up in the air so I could capture both our beautiful boy and the beautiful weather we were having that day. I think it turned out pretty damn good as far as photos are considered.
Winter has regressed! Not so much actually. She just really likes to try things out that are supposed to be for babies. (Please excuse the neon-pink ice cream on our new white curtains.)
Other than that, we had a lovely Easter and Winter found eggs all over Tera's back yard. Ledger is learning to laugh up a storm if you really get him going. As for the rest of life, I won't complain because we are so lucky.
